Clinton's tough diplomacy stings Ottawa
Globe & Mail ^ | 31 Mar 2010 | Campbell Clark

Hillary Clinton has taken issue with Canada's signature G8 initiative on maternal mortality, arguing that any effort to improve the health of mothers in poor countries must include access to abortion.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who is seeking to make maternal health the centrepiece of the G8 summit he is hosting in Ontario in June, was initially reluctant to include contraception as part of the agenda, and he has insisted the plan would leave out abortion.

But the U.S. Secretary of State was blunt in her disagreement with this approach yesterday.

Clinton is again acting like a demented cow in a china shop, continuing the Obama administration's policy of attacking our best friends, while doing nothing about our threatening enemies (Iran). Clinton and Obama act like enemies of America. At the very least, they have no class.

“It’s curious and curiouser,” said Colin Robertson, a former senior diplomat at Canada’s embassy in Washington, now a senior fellow with the Canadian Defence & Foreign Affairs Institute.

Ms. Clinton, he noted, is a well-briefed veteran politician and campaigner who knows how to avoid stepping into controversy if she wants to.

A leaked copy of her remarks to a meeting of Arctic Ocean nations criticized Canada for holding a meeting of five countries, while leaving out three members of the Arctic Council and not being responsive to aboriginal concerns. And in a CTV interview, Ms. Clinton emphatically asked for Canadian troops to stay in Afghanistan past 2011 - even though Mr. Harper’s government has repeatedly said they will not.

“She could have dodged all of them,” Mr. Robertson said. “This is all by design.”

What Hillary meant to say was:

“We’ve got to keep killing babies if we are ever going to eliminate the “undesirables” from overpopulating the way they are now.”

Yep.

Scratch any pro abortionist deeply enough and you find the foundation of the Practical Eugenics movement and all the horror show that depended from that, including the Nazi racial purity concepts.

In a short period of time Hillary nosed her way into and castigated us on who we should invite to a meeting on the arctic. Then went on to attempt to spank us on our abortion stand and our work with NATO.

Is there anyone lately that this administration has not ticked off????

I'll remind her 1/3 of the US oil demand is supplied by Canada, although that can be changed. And we are the only place in the world that was only slightly hit by the recession.

I have two words for Hillary......BITE ME

Yup, these people are so power drunk that they cannot see that they are setting themselves up every single day to be slapped down HARD by God Almighty. When the Proud and Arrogant will not humble themselves, God will HUMILIATE them. So keep going you arrogant, ignorant jerks!! CO

True, but you see that she would have been no better than this freak except for the fact that she is an Natural Born Citizen. How sad, that the left had such a choice between worse and more worse. All around it’s a very bad scene and it won’t be corrected in November. I know that most will not agree with me at this point but we will just have to see. CO
